I have seen you on many dating sites
I checked my inbox and there you were
Everything inside is warning me
not to trust, be afraid and run far away
There is something horrible and
sinister hiding behind those eyes
Your words should be honest and enticing
but yours are dishonest and cold
You have left a trail of wither and decay
in your touch, for you, love is a non existent word
The aura of your soul is ugly, tainted
and you have killed many times before
You are a serial killer of hearts,
but I will not be your next victim
I refuse to die this way

So this is free verse with a ton of enjambment and I love the last line ("refuse to die this way")
..."a serial killer of hearts"...how intriguing. Very metaphorical and thought provoking. I like the subject. I like the approach. The speaker seems to have either undue knowledge or paranoia about the protagonist....but that is allowable. The reader is left to sort that out. I like the mixture of first person and second person narrative. Nice poem.

Thank you. I really appreciate that. I feel that cyberstalking is an important issue that needs to be addressed.
